With the TT's you also cannot lock the car while it is running, so it sorta defeats the purpose of having it.That said, if you give the car a hard time, just take it easy for the last couple of minutes.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>ZapI have a TT on mine but I dont use it as it came with the car, but you can lock the car while it is running. Just need to use the key.CheersCowie<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Agreed, key lock if I need to have it set for a long period of time. My TT usually runs for 30 seconds unless I've given the car a bit. Regardless of what ford say re: turbo cooling down, I dont believe in turning my car off whilst the turbo is glowing.My 10 cents worth. PS, you can get an Apexi Auto Timer (slimline design) for about $135 - $140 shipped. This is the one I am using in my car, its a great timer.

It's not just ford who has come to this conclusion... it is a scientifically proven fact that the turbo will still create flow of water with the engine turned off.

I just wanted to know how much k's you guys are getting out of a full tank (what it says on that trip thing). ive filled up a full tank with woolworths caltex vortex, and my dash is telling me 387!! is that normal? cheers<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm using my 2004 BA XR6T mkI as a service vehicle, the trip indicates I average about 11.2L/100k but I get anywhere between 380-420 km/tank that's with 50/50 city/highway Km's but Im not draging every HSV from the lights either.I also recently did a trip from Bris to Syd Return where I got 500-520Km out of a tank.I guess it all come down to driving habits and conditions.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise this topic has been thrashed around almost as much as the choice of colour and transmission - but it's not all about the water thermosyphon.In a few years time these "idiots" with turbo timers may just be sitting back and having a good old chuckle!
